Show HN: We built a tool to track the millions of dollars I ignore during ads (twitter.com)

The economics of the Super Bowl (sorry, "Big Game") are absurd. $8M for 30 seconds of airtime.

We wanted to quantify what happens when you ignore it with this infotainment app.

The Big Flush lets you clock out during commercial breaks and gives you a receipt for the ad value you "destroyed" by being in the bathroom, going for snacks etc.

It was built in a 3-4 days for a hackathon. We tried to make the UI feel "luxury absurd."

Would love feedback on the Three.js performance on mobile :shy:!

Superbowl has ~120 million viewers, so each individual one is like $0.07?

So if you go to bathroom for 5 minutes, and miss 10 ads, you've "destroyed" $0.70 in value, or so..

That seems pretty boring.
